This sounds like a really good way to make sure you get the smallest raises and the least promotions. You'll never be seen or heard!

- hirako2000 5y agoMy view is that raises and promotions don't tie to whether someone is heared or not. If one criteria matters, it's negociating skills. After that probably comes competence. Not joining meetings should provide you with as much time saved to focus on actual work. Growing competence, and lead to higher/better throuput. I've seen a number of people playing the "let's be heard/noisy" card. It often works for a while but not in the long term. Time spent at "work" can be spent with a short sighted objective, or a long one. Even if I made a mistake of interpretation and attending meetings can result in better outcomes, I would still favor mental health and maximising time spent to improving my competence, over fears to loose my job or not getting a promotion raises from the current employer.
- missedthecue 5y agoIn my experience, it's not necessarily the person who does the most work that gets promoted, but the person who gets the most recognition. Sitting at home never seeing, hearing, speaking, or interacting with people save for brief slack messages just doesn't seem like the best way to get recognition.
- spacedcowboy 5y agoThis, right here, is what is wrong with meeting culture.
- missedthecue 5y agoIt would be nice if it wasn't this way, but unilaterally excluding yourself from this meeting culture only hurts you.
